Problem 1
Let {gn} be a sequence of real valued functions such that gn+1(x)≤gn(x) for each x in T and for every n=1,2,.... If {gn} is uniformly bounded on T and if ∑fn(x) converges uniformly on T, then ∑fn(x)gn(x) also converges uniformly on T.
Problem 2
Let an be a decreasing sequence of positive terms. Prove that
the series ∑ansinnx converges uniformly on R
if, and only if, nan→0 as n→∞
Only if direction is easy so we omit the proof here, we only prove the if direction
Suppose
nan→0 as n→∞, let Bn(x)=n∑k=1sinkx
n∑k=1aksinkx=Bnan+1−n∑k=1Bk(ak+1−ak)
|m∑k=n+1aksinkx|=|Bnan+1−Bmam+1+m∑k=n+1Bk(ak+1−ak)|=|Bnan+1−Bmam+1+B(am+1−an+1)|, wheremin{Bn+1,Bn+2,...,Bm}≤B≤max{Bn+1,Bn+2,...,Bm}≤|(Bn−B)an+1|+|(B−Bm)am+1|<2Nan+1+2Mam+1<ε
problem 1 can be proved in a similar way
Problem 3
Given a power series ∑∞n=0anzn whose
coefficients are related by an equation of the form
an+Aan−1+Ban−2=0 (n=2,3,...)
Show that for any x for which ther series converges, its sum is a0+(a1+Aa0)x1+Ax+Bx2
Problem 4
Show that the binomial series (1+x)^{\alpha}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}
{\alpha \choose k} x^n exhibits the following behavior at the points
x=\pm 1
a) If x=-1, the series converges for \alpha\geq 0 and diverges for \alpha<0
b)
If x=1, the series diverges for \alpha \leq -1, converges
conditionally for \alpha in the inteval -1<\alpha<0, and
converges absolutely for \alpha\geq0
